Time to raise our voices gladly

What a wonderful performance at the opening of the European Forum conference in 2012 in Amsterdam! Kees Posthunus, Marjon Klaassen and Tineke van der Schaaf did a great job preparing and performing this.

Part of the performance was the song you find here.

Time to raise our voices gladly

Time to raise our voices gladlyTime to lift our hearts todayLove of Christ is all around usTime to stand up, walk the wayOut of slavery and darknessTowards living openlyHear the good news Christ has given:Sisters, brothers, you are free!

Time of suffering and sorrowLay behind us. Time has comeTo step in the light, so brightly,Warm our bodies in the sunLive and love as God has made youYou’re an apple of his eyeFor us lays a shining futureUnder blue and cloudless sky

Stand together, sisters, brothersKeep the faith and keep it gayWalk the way that leads to freedomFuture has begun todayBlind will see and deaf will hearA new creation soon will beHear the good news Christ has given:Sister, brother, you are free!
